Happily every after...

I want to grow this variety in my front yard and live happily ever after eating figs from its limbs.  Trouble is, I don't know what variety it is.  Anyone have any ideas?

I don't currently have a leaf pic, but I'll try to get one.  The tree is in N. Cal, 21 miles north of the Golden Gate.

Very sweet innards!!!

Good luck with your search for the info but don't limit yourself to just this one variety whether obsession with it or some other reason.  There may be other good varieties that can excel in your area.
Once you are hooked on figs, you will test many varieties and later settle down with a few that are keepers in your location for a number of reasons and discard others that you don't have so happy experience with over a few years.

Looks like that it is an Italian Honey fig.

I agree with gorgi. A while ago today when I read the post I thought the fruit looks like my Latarulla (Lattarula) which is Italian Honey but then I told myself to shut up since I have a only short experience and there may be other varieties with ridges on fruits like this.

Latarulla sounds good, and upon closer inspection, seems right.  I originally thought it might be CONADRIA, a fig bred by Ira Condit.  But supposedly conadria has a pinker flesh.  This one is quite yellowish/white. 

Do ridges give away the variety, or at least tell part of the story?

This has become quite a mystery quest.

Thanks all!

Definitely not Conadria.

Definitely italian Honey Fig.
